Nikki Reed's Wedding Inspiration

Twilight star Nikki Reed and American Idol
alum Paul McDonald tied the knot in Malibu, California. The perpetually edgy
Reed—known outside the Twi-verse for gritty turns in indie flicks like Thirteen
and Lords of Dogtown—married American Idol alum Paul McDonald in a
one-of-a-kind fit-and-flare fantasy gown that was dripping with Tacori
diamonds. However, maybe lots of you may hold the view that celeb weddings have
been given a bad rap – extravagant and unrealistic budgets and weddings that
last no more than 72 hours. But there’s still a little bit of curiosity in side
each and every one of us to see exactly what the dress was, what the colours
were and what she carried as a bouquet. So, just shift your emphasis, and enjoy
this celeb’s amazing wedding shots.

It took more than 100 hours of hand
stitching to fit the dress to Nikki’s body. Embedded at the center of the
bodice’s blingy band were 30 carats of Tacori diamonds – one five-carat rock
surrounded by 12 pear-shaped stones, symbolizing the 12 months of the year and
the circle of life. The back of the dress featured 100 diamonds buttons (a
total of 105 carats!). The train was six feet long!

It’s so unbelievably refreshing to see a
bouquet of sunflowers. It’s quite rare nowadays to see this as the main floral
focus.
